Re: 3.1 motor surge

remove the IAC valve from the throttle body and see if it's covered in brown or black crud. Clean the tip of it and the bore it rides in with spray carb cleaner and see if it fixes your surge problem.

Re: 3.1 motor surge

I know it seems unrelated, but does your heater control switch from heat to vent to floor etc, or is it stuck half on defrost and half to the floor? The HVAC is vacuum powered, and if the vacuum line running from the engine, through the firewall and to heater control head is cracked, you will also get an engine stumble from the vacuum leak.
